About Michelin Sushi Chef Tetsu:
His family owned a sushi restaurant in Saga Prefecture in the Kyushu region.
Chef Tetsu grew up close to sushi and Japanese cuisine from a young age.
He later went on to pursue a completely different career path, but when his father closed the sushi restaurant, he vowed to revive it.
In November 2007, he opened his first restaurant, "Yamasa Shoten Sushi Yoshi" in Saga.
As a consequence of the restaurant's popularity in Saga Prefecture, Michelin researchers visited the restaurant.
The restaurant was listed in the Michelin Guide twice. (2014, 2019)
In June 2019, he opened "Sushi Yamasa" in Nishinakasu, Fukuoka, offering the best time and sushi to customers from home and abroad in a restaurant overlooking the night view of Nakasu.

#manner #HowtoeatSushi #SushiCounter - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Every restaurant has its own rules. In general when I go to an upmarket sushi restaurant, I will not wear heavy cologne or perfume, will set my mobile phone to mute, will not talk loud, will finish every dish served, will thank the chef or chefs and staff, and more importantly will bring my credit card and do not fart. I never took off my watch and I did not find other patrons did that and I only put my phone on the bench but nothing else.
Take off watch so you don't bang it in to stuff on the table/counter
I feel like the chef is the customer and the customer is the employee 😂😂😂
Indeed, that's the feeling I get from this video.
Hi I'm a 60 year old Australian & although don't sleep Japanese my children & grand children do.
I love the culture & manners you portray at your restraunt & enjoy the vidio very much.
I look forward to many more from you
This chef was very professional and respectful! 👏
And the sushi he served looked fantastic and royal. I would be honored to try the food he makes 🙏
Thanks a lot ;)
I loved this video , very helpful. Thank you chef ❤
I have always appreciated the aesthetic and the good manners of the sushi experience. It is a welcome relief from an often rude and unpleasant world.
I'm starting to eat more sushi. I've never been good with chopsticks, so I always eat it with my hands. Good to know I've accidentally been enjoying sushi the correct way this whole time!
Very interesting to learn about Japanese/sushi restaurant culture. Thank you for sharing and particularly for explaining the reason/logic behind these customs! 🙏🏼
Happy to be your help!
There are many other manners and customs in Japan that many people consider important. 🍣
And we add more information for the detailed explanation of eating Sushi on the description!

I'll do this
God bless sashimi & sushi inventors.
Amazing!!! 😋🍣
@@samuraisushispirits2151 You're welcome. Inspired by the chefs, japan, japan and their whetstones, sharpening videos, I bought my very first whetstone, new old stock King Deluxe 1200 (it has a little chip on the side), I'd like to ask if I could use it and submerge it in water eve with the sticker on it, I'd like to keep the sticker on for some reason. I will use the other side anyway but will the sticker affect the quality of the water, should I remove it?
Also, what sandpaper grit should I use to kind of repair the little chip on the side/edge? Other whetstone recommendations are welcome. Thank you.
I was tempted to buy the cheapest japanese brand (called Sato someone said it's Made in Japan but I don't know) for only about. US$1.75 but I opted for King brand I hope that's a good whetstone brand.
God bless.
Thank you so much to let us know the etiquette of enjoying sushi & sashimi in the restaurant, especially on the sushi counter. 🙏🙏👍👍
TWCY-san, thanks for watching!! Hope you'll have wonderful Sushi experience ;)
I think what some people fail to understand is that, in some restaurants, you're paying for the experience that comes with the food, and this is especially so for omakase.
Sometimes, this comes in the form of interaction with the chef, and their style of entertainment while introducing, cooking or serving food. You're doing your ownself a disservice if you let your social media needs take priority.
Thank for an excellent video!
Allan Gianferante-san
So glad to hear that! Thanks for the wonderful comment! :)
What about using soy sauce and wasabi?
Thank you Michelin 5 star chef 👩🍳
thank you Sir
Thank you very much! Please come back and watch another one of my videos.
Thank you for watching the video again!
In this episode, we'll show you how to act properly in a Sushi restaurant and some points to be careful about. 🍣 There are some things that are similar to Japanese culture, so please take a look before you eat at a sushi restaurant! :)
Thanks,
Wishing you the very happiest of Christmas with much growth for your channel. Good health and prosperity in 2022

Thanks for your comment, Chef Tetsu's restaurant had a lot of customers last year and thanks to your comment we are going to have a great year!✨🍣 We hope you will check out our videos!! :)
Thank you very much for guide! Where is your restaurant in Japan? Kind Regards
Sorry for the late reply!
My restaurant is located in Kyushu, an area in the west of Japan!
My restaurant: Sushi Yamasa
Address: 3F RIN FIRST 4-4 Nishinakasu Chuo-ku,

Japan
We look forward to meeting you! :)
About the watch…the way polite people eat in Europe, the elbows are touching the border of the table( not ON THE TABLE ) so the top half of the arms are never down, so that risk does not exists.
Thanks for sharing!! Can be flexible and change your mindset depending on the situation.
If you are supposed to eat it right away, there should be no time for pictures.
Perfect!!! 😋🍣
Where are the napkins and drinks? Can't you drink water or another beverage when eating Sushi?
Thank you for the information, Chef.
Yes it's true. I love eating using my fingers, but I have not tried sushi yet.
Thanks! Hope you have great experience ;) ✨
I’m going to seem so informed when I take off my watch lol
mint gardener-san
Definitely! Most Chefs would be happy to know just a few of the tips here.:) We hope you have a wonderful restaurant experience! Thanks,
I knew it! Sushi IS finger food!
Nice. What about when using soy sauce & wasabi & ginger? I like eating them all together lol
Only dip the fish in the soy sauce, not the rice, add just a little Wasabi to the sushi, and the ginger is to cleanse the pallet between different types.
Wait what!? Eating with your fingers is the right way? I didn’t know that
for the nigiri best method is fish side first so it hits your tongue.
DJWario-san,
Thank you for the great comment!
As you said earlier, eating the fish first gives you a unique feeling of unity with the Sushi Rice, which is very tasty!🍣 Thanks,
HA! i always KNEW it was ok to dunk it into a soy-sauce-wasabi paste! that's why it's ok to eat it with a spoon sometimes because it will gently come apart as you dunk it and swirl it around. the excess wasabi will often bring tears to your eyes which a sign of great respect to the sushi maker.
Did not know about watch. Will know it now.
Thanks for watching :)
We'll also improve our service!
New subscriber here.
What is proper bathroom etiquette at sushi restaurant?
If you have chopsticks, place correctly on holder.
Politely excuse yourself to the chef.
Quietly step off your seat.
Using both hands, clutch your buttocks.
Proceed to run with high knees to the bathroom while shouting the name of your lord and saviour.
Make Gojira proud.
Also, don't ask if they have any ketchup!
That’s right, sir! 😂
Obviously, everyone know that the BBQ sauce works much better 😂
Can you make a video about
“What do you need to prepare before making sushi?” How many things that we need to have before making sushi like professional?” And position of all the tools that we need to use
Im a beginner Take long time to prepare alway forgot this and that 😭 actually thier is so many that i wanna ask such as “How to the hold the Knife propaly”
Thank you for making such a helpful videos
We're happy to be your help!And thank you for the requests for us. :)
We will introduce professional tools in the upcoming videos. And of course, we will keep updating the info about knives!
We hope you enjoy the next few posts. Thanks,
I was expecting you to mention that if someone wants soy sauce, to dip only a portion of the fish itself and not the rice part. Was one of the faux pas I myself originally did when first eating sushi.
Didn't know about taking off the Watch part but I should've as that's just common sense and respect.
How do you feel about people who actually prefer (due to taste preference) to dunk their entire piece, rice included, into soy sauce rather then dip? Is it a "I don't care" situation or is it a "I'm secretly disappointed" situation?
Lu Phone-san
Indeed, that is a well-known fact. But we presented not only the culture of Sushi, but also the way of thinking of Japanese chefs. :)
We know it's difficult to decide how customers should eat. When people enjoy their dinning at the same restaurant, we'd hope they would respect the style the restaurant has there. Thanks,
@@samuraisushispirits2151 Mood
So interesting. These are ALL things I learned growing up (Okinawan so Asian manners). Well, except the chopsticks. We were told Never to take anything with our hands...(kids, dirty hands, even if we "washed" them. lol) So that is understandable now. :D
I noticed the customer had a small cloth (wet?) to wipe his fingers between eating sushi. I haven't seen this in restaurants in the US. Is this something I should ask for?
This is called "Oshibori" and is found in Japan and some Asian countries.
In the US & European countries, there are instead napkins for wiping the mouth during meals and finger bowls for washing dirty hands during meals.
I looked it up, and "hands are already washed before arriving at the table" is likely a requirement in such countries.
The world of food culture is very interesting!
@@samuraisushispirits2151 Agreed - food culture is every bit as fascinating as social culture. I hope it doesn't succumb to too much "fusion". Thank you.
You may be going to a cheap spot...I have experienced those places too!
Back in the 80's I went to a sushi bar in Portland, Oregon. The owner/proprietor/chef was Japanese and his co-owner/hostess/wife was American European. The room was full of Japanese antiques and had a gong that was to be tapped upon entrance with the number in your party. The hot/moist towels were a wonderful complement to the pre-meal anticipation - and it was not just about clean hands. I can't explain it. I was so sad when I took friends there last year and found that they had done away with the little towels. :(
すごく勉強になりました。どうもありがとうございます
日本で色々寿司屋さんで行っていたけど外国人でお箸を使えるのは難しくて、お寿司の味よりお箸に中心してしまった。
質問ですが指輪はどうするんですか。それも外すんですか。
ありがとうございます。
It's true that eating with only chopsticks is a uniquely Japanese culture, so it's especially difficult to eat soft Sushi. 🍣
指輪 is fine, as long as the decorations are not too large and will not damage the interior. :)
Good advice... especially in the States...
Brian Bodnar-san
Thanks for checking out our videos!! 🍣
Not only in the U.S. but also in Japan, if you have a chance to visit a Sushi Restaurant, please remember the points we covered here! Thanks,
Greet the sushi master first thing.
True! Thanks;)
I didn't know that there were so many rules involved.
Thank you for your comment!
What is important to each store is different, so please explore the Sushi world :)
Do you also take off your wedding rings?
Monique Doucette Moody-san
The important point here is that we're not trying to force you to take anything important away. We think chefs will be pleased if you show thoughtfulness only while eating the food! Thanks,
@@samuraisushispirits2151 I’d be happy to take off whatever would honor the chef.
@@mmdm7445 sound like my ex
饮食文化的确很重要，但却不能过于执着追求却忽略了客户自身感受。就好像和同事聚餐吃饭，食物固然丰盛，但人人循规蹈矩，反而不如在家里面惬意自在。仅仅是一个对比。
Thanks for the great comments!
Indeed, offering comfortable space and pleasant time for customers is one of the most important tasks for Sushi Chef.
In order not to ignore the feelings of customers, Chef believes that it is important for customers to be considerate of each other and create a better space.
We will try to create contents that are better and more interesting. Thanks,
The tough-guy-isms in this comment section are hilarious. No wonder we have such a bad reputation when we travel abroad. Don't get me wrong, I like America and how we do things. But, I thought this was really interesting, and demonstrates that the Japanese approach life from a completely different angle and there's nothing wrong with that. And it's good to know in case we ever go there.
Just think how weirded out you'd be if a Japanese person came to America to eat Fried Chicken or something, took their watch off the table, and followed all these rules. It would feel really foreign. Following these guidelines is like them following ours to not make an ordeal of their presence. Be a good representative of our country when you go abroad, ffs.
Omg, I hope you have but I have to have
Sssussshi 300 day s in year
Zen Ali -san
Thanks for the nice comments!
Yes, Sushi is wonderful for our lives!!🍣
We hope you enjoy our TH-cam videos! Thanks,
Chopsticks to eat sushi not OK? (Makes no sense!)Lots of people forget to wash their hands before eating. Even if they do, Fingers and palms get germs quickly from touching dirty things...Pants, watch, iPhone, chair (customers have been sitting on subway train seats, car seats, taxi seats, underside of the counter etc.. during the day!)
NOT trying to be mean, just pointing out why I and many other people prefer to eat sushi with chopsticks. The sushi and restaurant looks fabulous, btw.. Obviously top quality.
🍣🍣😋
Thanks for the GREAT comments!
It is true that eating with our hands is not particularly hygienic in some aspects, and some people may forget to wash their hands.
For those people, Sushi Restaurant prepares wet wipes (called "Oshibori" or Yubifuki) like 2:50 !
We will make Japanese cultural contents more accessible to everyone. 🍣
Please check them out! Thanks, :)
Be cleaner, when i eat at the restaurant i wash my hands before it starts and do not touch my pants or iphone. I eat and concentrate on food.
@@PeterParker-jm4dc
Thanks for the great support!
Of course, the restaurants also take care of their own hygiene in making Sushi and getting customers to cooperate with them.
One of our goals is to make as many people enjoying Sushi as possible, so we created this video.
Please let us know any requests or questions you would like to know! Thanks,
it is so endearing how two sided the relationship is expected to be here.Also, as an American, I think it would be exciting if you used a samurai sword to remove the hands of people if they break the rules.
Tash V-san
What a nice comment! Since cooking is communication, the relationship between the two is also part of it. And wow, the Samurai Sword is your favorite? :) That spirit lives on today! Thanks,
@@samuraisushispirits2151 It is what we have in America. Not my favorite, just most exciting.
@@samuraisushispirits2151 And thank you for your reply!

BIG Thanks for watching our contents!!
The rules depend on the Chef's approach, so We hope you enjoy this as an idea! :) Thanks,
Relax he's just pointing out the things that annoy sushi chefs
Well im turkish and we have a national alcoholic bewerage and everyone is like you should drink it this way that way these are unwritten rules etc. FFS leave the people be they can drink it with more water less water plain with ice without ice (actualy ice has the issue of changing the concentration of the drink top part is soft while the bottom is gets harder to drink that's the only thing ı recommend for the people who experience nausea but whatever) with food without food with meze or not meze ı dont really care. that really makes people sick...
In case of the sushi however there can be a method like turning the baklava upside down in order to get the taste better but maybe the guy doesn't want to get his hands dirty ?
Or doesnt like soy sauce ? or wasabi ? I believe food should be and can be tailored to the consumer in order to satisfy the customer..
Order a tbone stake or a whooper I think
Bruh…..it’s “steak” and “whopper” 🫣
@@duderdudeedoo1984 sorry man was drunk and not native English but then again thanks 👍
@@realtimeinc2159 😎😎😎
There is only one thing you should avoid: not paying.
I’ll eat it how I want thanks
Wow aren’t you cool. 😂
Wow that was rude
THANK YOU I was gonna say the same thing!!!
That's great.
I believe Ru Sans has a nice deep fried roll smothered in sweet sauce that I'm sure you'll find to be exquisite.
Perhaps you will be me comfortable there.
I mean its your hard earned money and really good sushi will set you back $200.
In America, we can’t do that. If you put your watch to the side, someone will steal it. Lol. You gotta understand crime in Japan is almost non-existent in comparison to America.
also in the Philippines.
Hostage justice, 1/3 crime rate
Eat raw bait...
Tell us you are unsophisticated trash without telling us.
This diva chef is so intimidating I would leave the moment he told me to remove my watch.
Raw fish is fish bait.
Tell us you are unsophisticated trash without telling us.
…sushi rolls are big and I cut them in half….geeze. BTW, it is rude to mix fake crab with real crab, I have been seeing this since the lock down. Watch out for menus that feature many many items of mixed crab.
I'm sorry but this is borderline ridiculous. There are no set in stone "rules" to eating sushi. Sushi was originally a street food and not meant to be some kind of pretentious "dining experience" fettered with arbitrary rules and traditions. Sushi is food and should be enjoyed by the diner the way they choose to consume it. Real sushi chefs do take great pride in their craft and want you to enjoy their creations and couldn't care less if you did or didn't follow some silly protocols while dining.
Life was so much better when there was no TH-cam forcing people to act incredibly foolish in order to impress others. I spent 7 years in Japan at 4 locations before this chef was born. Things were much better then as sushiyas didn't have "chefs" imitating Emily Post, and suggesting frivolous manners!! How is one considered a chef when he is limited to one type of food??
It says Sushi Chef doesn't it?
It says Michelin Sushi Chef, but that doesn't change my attempt to describe the past or your inability grasp the intended meaning of the written word??@@kamikaza3334
So dont do a anythring that makes you look like you rack a disaprine or anything that'll disgrace your famary. Or your have to commit a harry kerry on the spot
Sounds like the restaurant is run by a tyrant with no consideration to the paying customer.
It all went right over your head, didn't it? lol....
@@coryfoster4907 No, I got it. I would be highly offended by such behavior from a chef.In the civilized world and specially at such a high brow restaurant, eating with the hands would be considered backwards and rude.
@@WhiteDragon689 In Japan? Because in most high-end Omakase sushi places - The sushi is eaten with your hands. Only a few pieces may use chopsticks, since it's most likely constructed to taste better (hold together) that way. Even look at how Masa explains how to eat Sushi. He owns one of the best sushi places in the world (named MASA)- Located in NYC. It's up to the sushi chef, I think you just need to get out and explore / try more places. It's about respecting different cultures. MASA's video on how to eat Sushi is here: th-cam.com/video/auLmekEsaak/w-d-xo.html
@@WhiteDragon689Glad you realize different cultures and contexts consider different things rude. The point is to adapt to the established culture you are taking part in as a guest.
Is that your thinking when you go to someone else's house? That if they have rules they're the tyrant of their own home?
Not to mention, if your paying for Michelin prices...I'd think you'd want to enjoy the full experience and not just some fish on top of rice. You're always free to reserve your patronage for someone who will kiss your entitled princely bum, of course.
I didn't fight the Japanese in WWII so that 80 years later they could tell me how to eat sushi in my own country.
That's right, you didn't...

@@AZ-kr6ffWell, with that attitude you shouldn't eat sushi at all...
Don't tell costumer what to do ,they deserve what they want to eat how they want to eat.
jaysata lee-san
Yes, you are absolutely right. However, if customers selected their dishes, chefs would like them to enjoy the most tasty one. There are two different kinds of goodness: the restaurant's and the home party's. We want many more people to enjoy our services. Thanks,
Is a costumer someone who makes a costume?
It's common etiquette and courtesy in Japan not only for the restaurant but other people at the establishment.
@@duderdudeedoo1984 yes it is
@@Dtt4 who is going to pay for it ? Customers or free
No, once its served I'll eat it the way I want to eat it thank you and if I want to put things on the table like my mobile I will
And this is why most places display the sign hanging "We reserve the right to refuse service to any a-hole"
We have a tough guy in the house, folks!
I would take picture of my food
If you look at me weird like why I'm taking pictures
I'll give you bad reviews foreal
I like tasting my food and taking pictures of my food

I am guessing this is for people going to Japan?? In America, whether at a Sushi Bar or Restaurant, I eat however the hell I want. I dont give a shit if you consider good or bad manners.
Imagine bragging about how poor your manners are. I have a hard time believing you were raised like this but maybe you were. I certainly wouldn't wear my poor attitude like a badge of honor.
This attitude is why Americans have such a bad reputation abroad.
Damn it, why would you say that?
@@MasterXniper If I am paying the $$, then I do what I wish. If you dont like it, then tell me to leave and not come back. There are quite a few other places that want my $$ dont care if I park my chopstix in my rice or ramen, putting Tabasco on Nigiri or Sashimi, etc.
@@photogasm5 They can't help it. They literally think acting like unsophisticated garbage is a good thing.
That's a horrible self entitled way to look at the world my friend. You really need to travel the world more and open your eyes. Show some respect. This is why people sometimes think Americans are pieces of shit when they travel (case and point here) lol...
